While we encourage children to stay in their age group, there may be certain circumstances that allow you to move your child up or down an age group. Parents or Guardians are requested to mail nippers@maroubraslsc.com.au prior to registration if they wish to join another Age Group.
Fees for all new (Under 6 to Under 13) and returning (Under 6 to Under 14) Nippers (includes registration fee, Nippers Cap and Rash Vest)
Fees for returning Nippers (Under 7 to Under 14) who don't require a new Rash Vest:
For new Under 14 Nippers (i.e. were not involved in Nippers in the preceding years) the fee is $250.
Replacement nipper caps and rash vests can be purchased separately.
Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) states that a child may join any Surf Life Saving Club as soon as they turn five years of age. As a result, Maroubra Nippers is unable to accept a child's membership until the child has reached the age of five to comply with insurance requirements.
A child who reaches five years of age after 30th September may join Nippers at that time for the remainder of the season; however, this child may be required to stay in the U6 nippers age group again the following season.
If you would like a child to join once they turn 5, please email Nipper Registrations to discuss.
